Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 971 Dinghai Shenzhen
It was so majestic and vigorous that a gust of wind whistled past Hardman's eyes, so much so that his right hand, which was used to greet him, froze in place.

HARDMAN: Huh?
After a moment's pause, Hardman reflexively sped up to catch up.

As a wide receiver, speed is undoubtedly one of Hardman's strengths. Even with the equipment bag in his hand, he continued to speed up.

The competition has already begun even before the start of voluntary spring training camp.

Two figures were running at full speed, one in front and one behind. In the end, Hardman relied on his speed advantage to overtake and entered the training ground first.

Whoosh whoosh.

Hardman threw his equipment bag aside, panting, supporting his knees with his hands, breathing heavily; the man was only a few steps slower, entered the training ground, and stood diagonally behind Hardman, panting.

The two exchanged glances, with confusion in their eyes:
So, why are they running?

Soren Hill was the Kansas City Chiefs' second pick in the second round this year. This time, they completed a pick trade with the Los Angeles Rams, picked up, and finally selected this safety from the University of Virginia with the 63rd pick.

Although slightly slower, the Kansas City Chiefs picked off the defense.

Moreover, he is a safety!

at last!

But, Soren Hill?
Once again, league professionals expressed their incomprehensible confusion, because the University of Virginia's football performance in recent years has not been outstanding, and Soren Hill should be a third or fourth round player.

Second round? It's not impossible, but the Kansas City Chiefs actually traded up, and when there are other suitable players in the rookie pool, this choice inevitably needs to be questioned, a small question mark.

Take a look at the Kansas City Chiefs' second-round pick:

A wide receiver, 5.9 feet (178 cm), 187 pounds (85 kg), focusing on speed advantage, which overlaps with the style of the team's top wide receiver Hill.

A safety who plays as a strong guard, he is 6 feet (183 cm) and 205 pounds (93 kg). He has no outstanding speed and strength advantages. He played all four years in college. Given the generally low quality of rookies this year, he is still not impressive enough.

That's it?

It is precisely because of this that Soren Hill also has something he needs to prove.

On the first day of spring training camp, all he could think about was making a good impression on the team. When Soren Hill saw another rookie, his first reaction was "competition."

Regardless of whether it is necessary or not, and regardless of the goal, let’s talk about it later.

Unfortunately, we lost.

Soren Hill secretly clenched his fists and cursed in annoyance: I will do fifteen extra sets of sprint training today.

The main task of a safety is to be a wide receiver. If he can't even catch up with a second-round pick this year, it will be extremely difficult to survive in the league. What's more, the Kansas City Chiefs have two big demons:
One is the wide receiver "Cheetah" Hill, and the other is...

Soren Hill saw it, Hardman saw it too, and both of them were dumbfounded.

There were already people training on the training ground. They had finished warming up and were doing basic speed training. Although the morning air was a little chilly, they were already sweating profusely and their jerseys were completely wet inside and out.

So, what were the two of them competing for just now like fools?
They thought they were the first to arrive at the training ground, but others had already started the second or even third round of training. For some reason, they had the illusion that they were lazy and slept in, and their cheeks felt slightly hot.

And, more importantly, that figure was Levi.

Yes, that Levi. The Levi who swept the league, wrote history, and called the shots; the Levi who was criticized by the media for too many off-court activities during the offseason, and the Levi who went to Hollywood to stand on the cusp of the storm; the Levi who always insisted on himself regardless of praise or complaints, and the Levi who was praised by people inside and outside the league; the Levi who topped the list of the league's top 100 players.

Right now, right before my eyes, alive.

Hardman swallowed and muttered to himself, "The media also said that Levi was being lazy during training because of his big shot. Where is this fake news?"

"I also heard that Levi would miss this year's voluntary training camp..." Soren Hill couldn't help but say something and rolled his eyes. Which media outlet was being stupid?

As soon as he appeared on the stage, without any words or even eye contact, the two young men were stunned and their brains lost the ability to function.

Now, they finally know which rumors are credible and which are pure nonsense.

For example, there are rumors that Levi is a training maniac, comparable to Watt and Donald?
For some reason, my knees felt weak.

"Ahem," Hardman coughed and almost choked on his own saliva, "So, what do we do now?"

"Training." The answer came not from Soren Hill, but from behind.

The two young men turned around and lowered their heads.

A thin and small figure, slightly shorter than Hardman, with a similar body shape, looks like a wide receiver; his dreadlocks were neatly tied into a high ponytail, which seemed to be a brand new hairstyle before the training camp.

His face was expressionless, his eyes fixed on Levi who was training.

After saying this, without saying anything else, he turned around, picked up his training bag and walked towards the locker room.

Hardman looked at Soren Hill, "Know him?"

Soren Hill nodded and mouthed, "Pro Bowl safety."

You can't blame Hardman for his lack of experience. There are simply too many NFL players, more than 2,000 of them, and it's inevitable that there will be some unfamiliar faces among them.

If Tyrann-Mathieu knew that Hardman didn't recognize him, he wouldn't be angry, but would be very motivated.

He was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 2013th pick in the third round in . He was not a strong safety, especially in those years, because of the existence of the Boom Corps, big safeties were very popular, and skinny and short safeties like him had almost no presence.

In his five years with the Arizona Cardinals, only the 2015 season was worth mentioning, when he was selected to the Pro Bowl and the All-American Second Team, but that was all.

Last season, he transferred to the Houston Texans and made the playoffs with the team, but he still was not recognized, and the team asked him to find a way out.

Joining the Kansas City Chiefs was an opportunity that Mathieu's agent actively sought. Mathieu personally visited Kansas City three times for interviews before finally convincing Vecchi to complete the deal.

It's lukewarm and unremarkable, but it doesn't seem like it will be eliminated immediately.

This is Mathieu's situation.

He has been proving himself since entering the league and has more to prove.

Although he is in his seventh year in the league, he is no different from a rookie.

The moment Mathieu saw Levi, he knew that his choice was correct, not because the Kansas City Chiefs were the defending champions, but because the Kansas City Chiefs had Levi and the atmosphere in the locker room was completely different.

Imagine that the biggest and most important player in the entire team is the first to show up at the voluntary training camp, start training meticulously, and set an example to start the new season. What should the other players do?
